This is a legislation item that originated from the EU

After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.

The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.

Status:

EU Directives are being published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. After IP completion day (31 December 2020 11pm) no further amendments will be applied to this version.

Part A

Only uses as fungicide may be authorised.

Part B

For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on fluoxastrobin, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 22 January 2008 shall be taken into account.

In this overall assessment Member States must pay particular attention to:

  • the operator safety, in particular when handling the undiluted concentrate. Conditions of use shall include adequate protective measures, such as wearing a face shield,

  • the protection of aquatic organisms. Risk mitigation measures such as buffer zones shall be applied, where appropriate,

  • the levels of residues of the metabolites of fluoxastrobin, when straw from treated areas is used as animal feeding stuff. Conditions of use shall include restrictions for feeding to animals, where appropriate,

  • the risk of accumulation in the soil surface, if the substance is used in perennial crops or in succeeding crops in crop rotation.

Conditions of use shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.

The concerned Member States shall request the submission of:

  • data to allow a comprehensive aquatic risk assessment to be made taking into account spray drift, run-off, drainage and the effectiveness of potential risk mitigation measures,
